So, yesterday we celebrated (slightly belatedly) Thanksgiving. And it rocked. While, as we put it gently, the history of Thanksgiving’s a bit…well…dubious. The whole family friends gathering / giving thanks for what you’ve got / etc idea is something I rather like. And Sweet Potato Casserole rocks my little world.
So the menu was pretty much as given, our kitchen got an awesome workout – I must admit to getting a bit stressed as dinner got later and later , the pop-out thermostat on the turkey had failed and I was waiting and waiting. Eventually we gave up and stabbed it with a knife, the juices ran clear and declared it done. Our kitchen did look like a disaster area afterwards though!
And getting everyone around the tables was somewhat of a challenge, something like tetris, but with a bit of shuffling we managed to get people around the table and dinner was – happily – served :)
But perhaps the best thing was seeing our friends we’ve not seen for a very long time, and chilling out afterwards talking :)
So Yay for Thanksgiving. But only once a year eh.
